TESTIMONIAL
“Thank you for a fantastic on the water experience, we all thoroughly enjoyed our time with the 12 degrees team in the Solent. The environment and atmosphere provided a great place to start and nurture new working relationships and we certainly had a lot of fun in the process.” – HR Director
The Brief
- Activity suitable for 6 – 7 participants
- New Team, so turbo charging their journey
- We needed a combination of being stretched as well as having time to relax and get to know each other a bit better
- 1 or 2 days duration
- Have some fun!
The Solution
A 1.5-day Marine Team Effectiveness Challenge – a sailing-based event with a high priority placed on making all the team development directly transferable to the workplace.
Exciting, taxing and mentally demanding, this team activity revealed the group’s leaders, team players and communicators.
While the event was interactive, fun, and engaging it allowed the delegates to participate in sailing; the focus was on the lessons learned and how these can be applied back in the workplace.
The first afternoon was spent learning the basics, and the first evening planning for the Marine Effectiveness Challenge, with BBQ and overnight accommodation provided in a crew house in Cowes.
On day two, the group refined their skills in the morning before undertaking and completing their Challenge, where they were ultimately in charge of the yacht.
